i doubt it, very difficult across international boundries, and very expensive. it's amazing, because the collaborations listed on that first page are between them (ilovedust) and their friends all over the UK and Europe. So they're actually not only ripping off the site, but claiming to have worked with all these people also

It looks like he turned off the links to the contact info, but if you go to register.com you can do a who is on the doamin. the guy justin sharma lives in MN..it's public knowledge...he probably doesn't know this though.
I would either 1) contact his server host and complain, or 2) have someone call him directly who sounds like a lwayer and scare the crap outta him...Say they are in the process of filing a suit or something.

Oh, and the phone number is there too...maybe you should post it because that too is public knowledge, then we can all call him

it's just been taken down
below is their response to ilovedust :-

Mark, I was just as surprised as you were. Our 'web guy' claimed to make it on his own. We are so sorry and have let him go.
The site is down, and again we are sorry.

It was definitely a rip (as if you couldn't tell already), the 'tears' on the ripoff site was lighter in contrast which could be proof of airbrushing over. Either way, glad to see someone did something about it.

At least they were decent about it when it was brought to their attention.

Crap, I got here too late and their site was changed. I would have loved to have seen it.

I know you said that they let their 'web guy' go. I'll bet they just said that to make you
feel better and to get you off their back.

I can't comment on what the other site was due to me coming in after the change, but if
that hack copied your site, I hoped that they really did can his a$$.
